M&G Investments has appointed Ruth Poh as head of compliance for Asia-Pacific. Based in Singapore, she reports to chief compliance officer Tim Page.

Poh will lead M&G’s compliance function across Asia Pacific, with responsibility for regulatory and compliance risks, and for providing advisory oversight as the business continues to grow its investment and client activities in the region.

With over 20 years’ experience in compliance and operational risk, Poh has a track record of building regional frameworks, engaging with regulators and supporting business growth and development.

She joins from UBS Asset Management, where she was head of compliance and operational risk control. She is also chair of the regulatory committee at the Investment Management Association of Singapore.

M&G has become increasingly international, with clients outside the United Kingdom accounting for almost 60% of third-party assets under management and administration by the end of 2025, compared with less than 40% five years ago.
